YOU CLAIM YOU HAVE NOT SINNED!

JEREMIAH 2: 35

"You say, I have done nothing wrong.  Surely God is not angry with me.  God says,  now I will punish you severely because  YOU CLAIM YOU HAVE NOT SINNED!"

Do you remember when the crowd was about to stone the adulterous?  Do you remember what Jesus said to the crowd?  "Let Him who has no sin cast the first stone".  Who was there in the crowd that was able to throw a stone?  That is why they left one by one until no one was left to accuse the adulterous.  Do you believe that you are a good person who has not sinned in the sight of God?  You had better not claim that you have done nothing wrong.  The One Truth Today is that God will be angry with  you and He will punish you severely because YOU CLAIM YOU HAVE NOT SINNED!

The bible tells us in Psalm 14 and 53 that "no one is good, no not one".  The Lord repeated in Matthew, Mark and Luke that "no one is good but one, and that is God!  In Romans 3:23 we learn that, "all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God."  In case you have not considered it, you are included in these statements and they all apply to you personally.  The only way it would not apply to you is if you are God!  If you believe that you are equal to God then you have an even bigger and more urgent problem to address.  No one is without sin!  No one is Good!

Because we are all sinners, we all need a saviour.  You can not save yourself from sin and death.  If you claim you have not sinned you are kidding yourself and God will punish you severely because you have not repented and asked for forgiveness and mercy for your many sins.  Only God can save you from you arrogance and ignorance.  The "Good News" is that Jesus Christ is your saviour and can forgive you of any sin and save you eternally.  Your job is to believe in Jesus and confess your sins to Him.  He will forgive you and His grace will cover your sin.  He will tell you as He told the adulterous, to go and sin no more.  What about you personally, do YOU CLAIM YOU HAVE NOT SINNED?
